Hello.
I have ftp'd the binary and source distributions from s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu.
The binaries appear to be working. But since eventually (after I learn a
lot more) I would like to try to finish up some of the loose ends that were
left when Berkeley dropped the project, then go on and add some enhancements
of my own.
Anyway, my next step is trying to build the binaries from the sources for
the linux distrution. When I try building the "pl1" sources I find I am
missing the header file dld.h
Next problem. There are a couple versions of "pl2" diffs: pl2.diff.absolute
and pl2.diff.relative. Neither of these appear to be exact fits for the
source tree that results from extracting the "pl1" archives. Am I doing
something wrong? Or are these the wrong diffs?
Thanks

That's a seperate library, dynamic link editing library.
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/libs/dld-src-3.2.5.tar.gz
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/binaries/libs/dld-bin-3.2.5.tar.gz (linux binaries)
Next problem. There are a couple versions of "pl2" diffs: pl2.diff.absolute
and pl2.diff.relative. Neither of these appear to be exact fits for the

You want to use the pl2.diff.relative. cd to your pl1 src dir and do:
patch < pl2.diff.relative
There's also a linux-postgres group. Administrative address is
linux-postgres-request@native-ed.bc.ca (put ADD or DEL in subject)
posting email address is: linux-postgres@native-ed.bc.ca.

Please read the file README.src, which is found in the same
directory as the source distribution. It contains the following
paragraph (among others):
Dynamic loading of functions requires the dld library
(latest version is 3.2.4) from tsx-11.mit.edu, directory
/pub/linux/sources/libs or /pub/linux/binaries/libs.
Install this library in /usr/lib and the include files in
/usr/include, or modify the main Postgres Makefiles to
represent where you put the library.

The files are as follows:
pl2.diff.absolute: apply this patch to the standard Berkeley Postgres
distribution
pl2.diff.relative: apply this patch to the Postgres for Linux source
(as found in the pl1.src.tar.gz file).
Maybe, you tried to apply the wrong patch first, which only got
halfway through, and then tried the other, so that some changes
were already done, some were not.
Please retry from scratch. I just did the following, and
experienced no problems at all:
tar xfvz pl1.src.tar.gz
zcat pl2.diff.relative.gz | patch -p0
The patch went all the way through; no hunk failed, no warnings
about fuzz or offseted lines.
